the second obama wins, reed sends out a note to colleagues, gee, why don't we work together? there is an easy test. mitch mcconnell can sit down with reed and in 10 minutes reach an agreement how the senate will work in a bipartisan way or figure out it is all baloney and he will remain a bitter partisan. reed has to be a part of this deal also. and i look forward to that. i mean i do think the problem we face, the problems are so large, that is irresponsible for the two governing parties to just start out by saying let's have four years of gridlock. they should at least try to find, is there a common ground, which is compatible with the values of both republicans and democrats, and that at least moves the ball forward 50%, even if neither side gets 100% of what they want. >> let's talk about books now. you guys both have books out. i love your book, ms. gingrich, i read it earlier, cover to cover, i have little kids. talk about why you wanted to reach out for the history of america, and specifically the colonies. i have a 2-year-old and 6-year- old. it is perfect for them. >
